Customer Reviews

Wonderful blend of hilarity and poignancy.

This novel is a change of pace for Judith Kelman, who is renowned for her novels of suspense. But readers who have had the privilege of reading Kelman's other fiction will recognize her penchant for combining humor and pathos. There are many laugh-out-loud funny one-liners and scenes throughout. (The chapter titles alone are worth the price of the book!) In between chuckles, readers will root for Maggie as she gradually rediscovers and reinvents herself, despite the many obstacles she must overcome.
